Our restless spirits yearn for Thee,
Where’er our changeful lot is cast;
Glad, when Thy gracious smile we see,
Blest, when our faith can hold Thee fast.
O Jesus, ever with us stay!
Make all our moments calm and bright
Chase the dark night of sin away—
Shed o’er the world Thy holy light!
Amen.
—Ascribed to Bernard of Clairvaux
